Welcome to Toys for Tykes Country Jam!

CONGRADULATIONS TO NATLIE PALMER  WHO WON THE 3 DAY 2 NIGHT STAY @ SUNSET VISTAS BEACH FRONT SUITES IN TREASURE ISLAND, FL @ TOYS FOR TYKES COUNTRY JAM! Dear Friends/Fans:

Allow us to take a moment to personally thank you for visiting Toys for Tykes Country Jam, we are truly grateful to you for taking the first step in bringing back the magic of Christmas. Furthermore, we are working hard to continue are events and need your help and support. However, we are just asking that you do what ever is comfortable for you. For example, coming out to an event and bring a new unwrapped toy, purchasing a bracelet of love for $10 via the internet, or becoming a volunteer, which ever it is we are proud to have you on board!

In addition, let me give you the general history of how Toys for Tykes Country Jam came to be. The organization all started while Shane Wooten was finishing his BA in Psychology at the University of Central Florida, when Shane learned that a large group of abused and neglected children in  his community  would not be receiving toys for Christmas due to a shortage. Shane did not understand why someone had not stepped up and took charge of an effort to ensure the children would get toys. Next, Shane reached out to local business partners, other Nashville Recording artists, and radio stations, such as WTRS 102.3 to help create a fantastic event for the whole family that would also gather up new toys for the children.

In addition, Shane decided that neighbors helping neighbors was the only way that seemed fair, therefore, his mission became clear that all the toys donated in each city would stay in that same city and not be shipped off  to other places. The grass roots organization has grown over the last 4 years and has spread to several cities in Florida, with plans to expand all the way to Nashville. Shane now graduated with an MBA stated that “The greatest thing I have been able to do with my time and talent is to help these children keep the magic of Christmas!”

Please email info@toysfortykes.com to help sponsor a child for Christmas or to be part of the magic!
